179,Reusing named chunks in other modules,reinerp,,"Similar to #97. Consider the following:

{{{
module A (
  -- $note
  f,
  )    
  where

  -- $note
  -- This is a long note.

  -- | This is a function
  f :: Int -> Int
  f x = x

module B (
  -- $A.note
  f,
 )
 where

  import A
}}}

Currently, there is no way to insert the documentation chunk named {{{$note}}} (which is defined in module {{{A}}}) into the documentation for {{{B}}}. I propose the above syntax as a way to do this.

The motivation for this construct is as follows. Since {{{A}}} and {{{B}}} export (at least some of) the same API, the {{{$note}}} chunk should be included in both of their Haddocks. It is possible to work around this need by using anchors to link to {{{A}}}'s note from {{{B}}}, but this a workaround rather than a solution.",enhancement,new,minor,,2.9.2,,,
